How did I come to MHC?

I came to MHC at the age of 11. I grew up in our youth program and was trained to be a worship leader. I then went and served the Lord in two other churches for 6 years and in May of 2007 had the honor to come back home to Mission Hills Church.

About my family:

I married my lovely wife Colleen in 2002. We have one son named Luke.

What is my role at MHC?

My role at Mission Hills Church is to serve God and His people at this local body. I lead the worship ministry, the college group and the young adult group.

What is the best part of my role?

The best part about my role is having the privilege to work with so many great volunteers. I am always humbled by the number of hours and the consistent dedication of the volunteers here at Mission Hills Church. From the worship team, tech team, drama planning team, ushers and greeters, to my own wife who volunteers in college group, I love our volunteers.

What is my favorite place on earth?

My favorite place on the earth is Orange County, CA.

What makes me laugh?

Nacho Libre, Fletch and my son Luke make me laugh.

What makes me cry?

Los Angeles Lakers losses make me cry.
